Go back in time to the Olympics' origins in ancient Greece, then come all the way to the present, and ponder the future. You can even see how you measure up to an Olympian by trying Olympic sports out. Avid sports enthusiasts and casual sporting fans alike have much to learn at this cutting-edge museum that's both educational and entertaining.
Relax and learn on the first floor
Admission to the Welcome Area on the first floor and the outdoor Monument Area is free. As you enter, the Welcome Vision—a large-screen video that shows a fresh take on the Olympic Games —and the Welcome Wall, adorned with Olympic symbols created by students from Hokkaido and Tokyo, greet you. Check out the special exhibition corner; themes and materials on display change regularly.
Read up on the Games at the Olympic Study Center, a mini-library. It also has activities that children will enjoy, such as origami (paper folding) to support the Tokyo 2020 Olympics' Japanese delegation. Shop for museum-exclusive merchandise at the reception area, or grab some refreshments from Five Rings Cafe. On a pleasant day, you can dine outside at the Monument Area, where you'll find replicas of Olympic cauldrons from the Tokyo, Sapporo, and Nagano Olympic Games. The surrounding greenery makes this area perfect for relaxation or a stroll.
